92 PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM vol. 90 



The female submitted by Dr. Braim is the first I have seen. Lord 

 Walsingham did not specify the sexes of the five specimens in his 

 type series, and, although he probably had a female or two, the one 

 before me is the only authentic one in this country. There are two 

 male paratypes from Lord Walsingham's series in the National col- 

 lection and one male in the Museum of Comparative Zoology at Cam- 

 bridge, Mass. I have compared the genitalia of one of the National 

 Museum paratypes with the genitalia of Dr. Braun's male and find 

 them identical. The male genitalia of arniceUa are unique in the 

 genus so there can be no doubt about the identity of the Washington 

 specimens. 



I am gTeatly indebted to Dr. Braun for this interesting record and 

 also for the male specimen she has deposited in the National collection.
